Upcoming Events

In an effort to recapture the idea of downtown
shopping districts being the center of their communities, the Georgie
Lou's family has created several events to encourage families to get to
know downtown Carlisle. We are the official host and organizer for
all of the events below, for which we've provided general information.
For the most up-to-date information and dates for our events, please see
our facebook
event page.

Sweetheart Stroll1:00-4:00 on the 1st Saturday of FebruaryDesigned for adult "sweethearts", the Sweetheart
Stroll features a go-at-your-own pace tour of downtown Carlisle,
where couples enjoy tastings and deals. Couples, which we
think can be defined in many ways, pick up maps at Georgie Lou's on
the day of the event to guide them to their "Sweetheart Stops".
This event usually features more than 20 businesses and
organizations. Please note that this event often includes
alchoholic beverages and is unsuitable for children.

Bunny Hop12:00-3:00 on the
Saturday of the weekend before Easter weekend
Dress your children under 12 in their "Sunday Best" and bring them
to downtown Carlisle for an afternoon egg hunt. After picking
up a map of participating locations at Georgie Lou's on the day of
the event, families follow it to "Bunny Hop Stops" for treats,
games, and crafts. This event usually features more than 30
businesses and organizations.

Spooky Saturday12:00-3:00 on the 3rd Saturday in OctoberThis Saturday afternoon of fun features a romp around
downtown Carlisle for children in costume under 12. Families
pick up a "Haunt Spot" map on the day of the event from Georgie
Lou's and follow it around downtown to find treats, games, and
crafts. Usually more than 40 businesses and organizations join
us to provide this daylight trick-or-treating event.

this Christmas scavenger hunt. Small Santas are hidden in

the event and use it to guide you to Santa's hiding spots.

12-4 on the first two Sundays in December, as we host kids-only
shopping days. These reservation-required events allow
children to shop for their families by themselves with our help,
using shopping lists they've filled out ahead of time. We
provide gift wrapping, guidance, and a secure store while parents
wait in a nearby waiting room. These are some of our favorite
days of the year!
